- The income comparison asks for household take-home income and says the input stays in the browser; results are approximate.
Field notes
The walk starts with a hundred-person model, then asks visitors to move along an income-ranked line before offering an approximate comparison based on country and household take-home income. A later section lets visitors choose a country and draw one life or a hundred; the page says those lives are weighted by where people are actually born. Its income comparison notes that local prices are adjusted for other incomes, but not for the visitor's own.
